BS Business Studies in Business Finance, Class of 2015

"The unbelievably helpful faculty and advisors at SNHU have given me the tools to succeed."

After seven years in the Air National Guard, during which I went to school on and off, I moved into the civilian workforce and got a job at a financial company. After five years working full-time and continuing school on a part-time basis, I decided it was time to buckle down and finish my degree.

I managed to get myself into a pretty good job, but I knew that to reach my career goals I had to finish my education. Also, being a new dad at the time, I wanted to finish my degree to set a good example for my kids, and show them how important education is in helping you obtain your goals.

My employer at the time had a great tuition reimbursement program, and I knew that an online learning environment would fit my busy schedule the best, allowing me to thrive. After doing some research, SNHU topped my list as a school that is affordable, well respected, and offers online programs that suit someone in my career.

Two and some years later, I'm going strong in my BS in Business Studies program and looking forward to earning my degree within the next year or so. The experience has been so rewarding and enjoyable. I have no doubt that I will continue on and go for my master's degree as well. The unbelievably helpful faculty and advisors at SNHU have given me the tools to succeed. I know I will be able to use those skills in my future educational endeavors.
